I got my grail tonight.

Wheeljack, stickers unapplied, sticker sheet included, red decoder, instructions, has all accessories minus 2 missles, and has the box in what looks like pretty good condition.

I paid $150 shipped.

I finally have some expendable income, I've been trying to get this guy with the box for a long time.

I've seen it go for a lot more, though I'm a bit upset it's missing the insert tray, I'll have to buy one of those somehow.

Wheeljack is a mighty fine figure, one that I hope to own at some point in the near future, when I have that Scrooge McDuck sized safe full of money.:grin:

Until that happens though, I'll focus on the G1 reissues.

Congrats!

Yep, Congrats!
Looks very nice. I wouldn't worry about the insert if I was you, just keep that thing out of sunlight.

I want the insert that holds the figure in place when put in the box, so I can display it mib. I've seen some repros, maybe I'll get that for my loose wheeljack I already have.

Congrats on the new and (almost too) shiny figure!

I only have a very beat up Wheeljack, but he (like so many G1 figures) has so much character in him!

Nice grab. Once I'm able to obtain expendable income, I'm going for a boxed Omega Supreme.

I think I had a wheeljack sometime when I was young. I dont know how I got it since I was born in 91. think it was from my older sibling.

Congrats though.

Congratulations!

I think the only hope for me to get a Wheeljack is the upcoming Chinese KO....

G1 Wheeljack is one of the rarest figures. I've never even seen him in real life!

Very fast shipping, I got it today.

The figure is really loose for some reason. I have 3 other wheeljacks and none of them are this loose. But it doesn't matter, this one is fricking bright, unchipped, perfect with no stickers applied. The box is a little beat up, but most g1 boxes aren't in this good of condition, the only major drawback is that the plastic window was coming off, so I glued it. I'm not some master collector here even though I'm crazy to drop 150 bones on one toy. I just wanted a Wheeljack with no labels applied, and a wheeljack box, and I got them both and I'm happy.

Thanks everyone.

No idea.
But:
1: He's an early tf (which makes him expensive).
2: He's from a mold that wasnt takara's (means short run compaired to some others and or no reuse of the mold or reissues, which makes him expensive).
3: He was large (which makes him expensive).
4: He had a LOT of bits (which makes him expensive).
5: He had electronics that were very good at dieing (which makes him expencive).
6: And of course any tf boxed is expensive.
